"All the witnesses are saying they were doing about 100 mph. They're saying that the guy was on drugs - but that's being investigated but he wasn't okay," said Richard Quinones, the victim's brother. The fatal crash has left relatives devastated.

Last summer the family moved from North Jersey to Merchantville and were happy to become homeowners for the first time.

"They moved down here because they wanted to have a better life," said Quinones. Counselors were on hand Friday at Cherry Hill West High where Garcia was a senior.

Her principal called the honors student a gentle and generous soul and a wonderful addition to the school.

"Looking for the right house took us nearly the entire summer," Garcia wrote. "Luckily, at the last minute we found our dream home."

About two years ago, her mother became very ill. Garcia wrote that her mother had five major back surgeries and she was forced to drop out of school to care for her four younger siblings as well as her mom.

Garcia appeared to be determined to finish school, writing:

"I may not know the overwhelming majority of the school, or how most things work around here, but what I do know is that here I'm given opportunities that were never given to me before, and I'm more than ecstatic to be graduating with the Class of 2013 here at West."

A dream and life cut short and now her four younger siblings are left with two painful losses.

The family is wondering what to do next.

"They were all my backbone. Now I gotta be strong for the kids but it's hard, it's hard," said Perez.

The driver of the Durango and a passenger are still in critical condition at Cooper University Hospital in Camden. Their names have not been released.

The prosecutor's office said they are investigating to determine the appropriate charges.
